"Much will be said about my father the man, the storyteller,
the lover of costume parties, a practical joker,
the accomplished
painter. He was a lover of everything French:
cheese, wine, and
women. He was a mountain climber, navigator,
skipper, tactician,
airplane pilot, rodeo rider, ski jumper,
dog lover, and all-around
adventurer. Our family vacations left us all injured and exhausted. He was
a dinner table
debater and devil's advocate. He was an Irishman, and a
proud member
of the Democratic Party."

"We formed in 1979, June,
in Washington D.C. the Moral Majority, with a handful of
people...which has grown now to over a hundred thousandpriests and rabbis and pastors and blacks and whites and young and old
and all kinds. Catholics are the largest part of the constituency
-- 30% -- because of our strong pro-life emphasis."

-- Jerry Falwell, The Role
of Religion in Politics

in the listing of the parts of the Moral Majority

"For the first time in
history, people of Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant faiths are standing
side by side and working in closest cooperation for the great common
cause. The seven organizations included in the campaign -- namely,
the
Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian
Association, the National Catholic War Council, the Jewish Welfare Board,
the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association, and the
Salvation Army -- are authorized by the Secretary of War and the Secretary
of the Navy to work for the soldiers and [unintelligible] in and near the
camp."

"Brian was an amazing
man. And I say that not just because he was family. Many people
thought he was almost super human. After his death, we visited
his former duty stations in Arizona. Each time we met one of his
fellow agents, they spoke of how impressed they were him. He was
what we expect in our brothers and sons: a strong, competitive, handsome, courageous,
funny, and incredibly patriotic American."

"Offensive line coach,
Jim Myers:
He built an offensive line that was unmatched. And today I cannot accept
this honor without bringing Coach Myers and his offensive line into the
Hall with me. And that line consists of John Fitzgerald, and
Tony
Liscio, and Dave Manders, and Ralph Neely, John Niland and
Blaine Nye."

"The Equal Rights
Amendment was first introduced into Congress in 1923. It was born
in the era of women's suffrage amendment. I'll recite it for you in case
you don't know it by heart. It says, 'Equality of life under the law
shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on
account of sex.' Section II says 'Congress will have the
power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this Article.'
And Section III has it going into effect within two years."

"These abuses have continued
because, for too long, the history of women has been a history of silence. Even
today, there are those who are trying to silence our words. But the voices of
this conference and of the women at Huairou
must be heard loudly and clearly:

- It is a
violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned,
or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls.

- It is a
violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into the
slavery of prostitution for human greed -- and the kinds of reasons that are
used to justify this practice should no longer be tolerated.

- It is a
violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set
on fire, and burned to death because their marriage dowries are deemed too small.

- It is a
violation of human rights when individual women are raped in their
own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape as a tactic or
prize of war.

- It is a
violation of human rights when a leading cause of death worldwide
among women ages 14 to 44 is the violence they are subjected to in their own
homes by their own relatives.

- It is a
violation of human rights when young girls are brutalized by the
painful and degrading practice of genital mutilation.

- It is a
violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan
their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being
sterilized against their will."

"Since our founding, American Muslims have
enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars;
they have served in our government; they have stood for civil rights;
they have started businesses; they have taught at our universities;
they've excelled in our sports arenas; they've won
Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch."

"God's desire is for transformation:
changed lives, changed minds, changed laws,
changed social orders and changed heartsin a changed world. This principle of transformation is at
the heart of the prophetic theology of the black church.
These two foci of liberation and transformation have been at the very core of
the black religious experience from the days of
David Walker,
Harriet Tubman,
Richard Allen,
Jarena Lee,
Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, and
Sojourner Truth
through the days of
Adam Clayton Powell,
Ida B. Wells,
Dr. Martin Luther King,
Rosa Parks,
Malcolm X,
Barbara Jordan,
Cornel West, and
Fannie Lou Hamer."

"The terrorist threat
to our nation did not emerge on September 11th, 2001. Long before that
day, radical, freedom-hating terrorists declared war on America and on
the civilized world: the attack on the Marine barracks in Lebanon
in 1983, the hijacking of the Achille Lauro in 1985,
the rise of al-Qaida and the bombing of the World Trade Center in
1993, the attacks on American installations in Saudi
Arabia in 1995 and 1996, the East Africa [embassy]
bombings of 1998, the attack on the USS Cole in 2000.
These and other atrocities were part of a sustained, systematic campaign
to spread devastation and chaos and to murder innocent Americans."
